About this property

Waters Edge Private Cottage

Come live your lake life at Waters Edge Cottage on fabulous Lake Wisconsin! This property offers over 100ft of water frontage and breathtaking views of the open water! Big, open windows in the living room make you feel like you are sitting right on top of the water. This newly remodeled home is in a prime location in the heart of Merrimac, WI, 2 minutes from the public boat launch, and only 8 miles from Devil's Lake State Park, Merrimac Ferry, and Parfrey's Glen.

The perfect getaway for family and friends to enjoy some time on the water. This property offers year-round activities including swimming, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, boating, water skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing. Inside the home offers many amenities including TVs in every room, memory foam mattresses, and a fully stocked kitchen including items such as Tupperware, a NutriBullet, a coffee frother, and Crockpot! Open-concept kitchen and living room space gives you plenty of room to spread out while still being together. There are even activities for the little ones including coloring books and crayons!

Outside you will have access to the dock (no boat included), a canoe, kayaks, and a stand-up paddleboard (lifejackets are limited, so we suggest bringing your own). Other outdoor gems would be the spacious deck with access to a Weber charcoal grill, pellet smoker, Char-Boil gas grill, and a firepit (guests need to bring their own wood). In the bedroom 1 closet, you will find baby gates, iron, iron board, and crayons. In bedroom 2 open closet you will find additional bedding and other kids' activities. The deck provides you with a spectacular sunrise and sunset every day of your stay!

Great restaurants are in Merrimac with larger cities such as Baraboo and Prairie du Sac within 20 minutes of the home. There is a small country store in town for immediate needs, but would suggest getting additional supplies at the Walmart or Grocery stores located in Baraboo.

Star gazing at devils lake
My son wanted to go to Devil’s Lake State Park for his birthday. We wanted a small quiet getaway and we got it! The added bonus was the kids catching fish right behind the house. Very close to state park. Great little lakehouse. Very clean! Will definitely stay again.

On the Lake Weekend
You can't ask for a better spot "on the lake.' We enjoyed relaxing on the deck with great lake views. The house was welcoming, clean, and the perfect size for our family. Check-in was easy and our host was responsive and helpful. Perfect weekend get-away.
